April Fools: Spot the Difference: part one

[Canen Darkflight]

Ok, whilst we're all bored, let's see who can spot the most changes on the board, apart from the obvious.

Here's my contribution:

Total people online has changed to read total spambots online.

Profile has changed to read Type of Vampire/Dragon instead of the word r-a-c-e (I do that to stop it filtering my words)

d-a-t-e has been changed to salad.

A-p-r-i-l has been changed to Tuesday.

F-o-o-l-s, i'm not sure about, but I bet there is a replacement.

Can anyone else spot anything funny?

EDIT:

I missed one. Top right button on the toolbar has been changed to "Don't Click". Oh, and the permissions box at the bottom has also been changed to: you MAY molest a badger, and you are turning me off.

The copyright notice at the bottom has also been changed to Sexified by Serilliant.

The no new posts icon explanation has been changed to "If you see this you visit too often".

[Eyanie]

Oh bother, I forgot what today was. I actually had time to post to a thread, and look what happens. Bah! I can't even get to it from my subscriptions. Stupid April Fool's Day. I'm going back to bed *sniffles and shuffles off*


ROFLMAO! My post was all messed up! Too funny.

[A Nony Mouse]

Tuesday :-( for the d-a-t-e
F-o-o-l's is Fool's

Edit: My character's armor include b-r-a-c-e-r-s and now it says bracers, lol

[Canen Darkflight]

We have a winner!

[A Nony Mouse]

We have a winner!

So are you Serillant or another person... just because i am confused.

[Canen Darkflight]

No, i'm a normal member, who is a bit pissed off because I was actually planning on making a return to roleplaying today...clearly, bad timing, as you can see.

[A Nony Mouse]

Ah, I guess the coincidental return threw me off. I must say, this is a good prank.

Edit: One of the forum icon's is labeled as "You visit too often if you see this icon a lot"

[Canen Darkflight]

Good in respect of it's funny. I imagine our posts will soon be edited anyway when Serilliant reads them and tries to hide the clues to those of us who don't own a calander and/or have any knowledge of exactly what's going on.

[Kially Gaith]

Type of Vampire/Dragon under species.

[A Nony Mouse]

Good in respect of it's funny. I imagine our posts will soon be edited anyway when Serilliant reads them and tries to hide the clues to those of us who don't own a calander and/or have any knowledge of exactly what's going on.

very true. wonder if this will last all day?

[Zook Murnig]

Here's one for the mods: The Submitted Threads link now reads "The cake is a lie".

Also, my guess is that the number one is a frown, based on the "You last visited" thing. Testing: 1

EDIT: Guess the 1 thing was wrong.

[Logan]

Ya know, I find it even funnier at the amount of time that had to have put into this thing to go off so smoothly in advance of it. While we are all, I'm sure, having a nice chuckle...I'm also a bit bemused by how lame it all is. ;-) Just kidding. Keep up the good work...or something.

[A Nony Mouse]

It is kinda funny when you think of the advanced planning. Oh well, still funny to wake up to.

[Logan]

Another difference -- Instead of saying how many posts since "you l-a-s-t visited" it says "since we last stole your free time". That may be my favorite swap o' the day.

[hamnat]

Why do I get the feeling this server crash is a big April Fools prank?

[Zook Murnig]

Because the evidence is overwhelming. APRIL FOOLS!!!

[Tsukiko]

god I hate april fools

[A Nony Mouse]

indeed. Well played Althanas.

[Squ]

very true. wonder if this will last all day?

Well, it's been like this for most of the day now, so I'm guessing that they want to f00l as many people as possible before the day ends.

Anyway, I think that spotting the differences in itself was a lot of fun :)
They should do this kind of thing more often (granted we can still put up our stories and RP).

[A Nony Mouse]

well my day is just beginning... only 9 am here.

[Zook Murnig]

Except we've ruined the joke for everyone, cause we're smart little fuckers like that.

[Raelyse]

I WANT TO POST. Unless a female of age 1-1000 wants to strip naked and have sexy april fools time with Raelyse right here, I'm going to ejaculate all over the Default Forum

[Squ]

Well, I didn't want to give it away either, I waited until someone else spilled the beans ^^;

Anyway, I can also imagine that there's a couple of people out there that might actually have believed it (I admit, I believed it too until I figured it out) and some of them might've been really upset and decided to not come back or something... But I guess that's what these pranks on this holiday are for :p

All in all, people who come in now will still read the first post and go *gasp*. Then realize it's only a j0ke as they read the rest of the posts. I think this is also good enough.

[A Nony Mouse]

I fell for it at first. I was pissed for a good fifteen minutes before this thread started.

[Kially Gaith]

I was the first person to post. I posted "OMGZORZ, I'VE BEEN 4PR1L F00LZ0RED" and Serilliant, like a gun, edited it. XD!

Go him. <3

[A Nony Mouse]

he's slacking off now though... shouldn't've let us start our own topics.

[Logan]

I have a feeling "he's slacking off" because "he's at school". Remember...he has a life outside of his time on Althanas...as legal as it may be...bah on him!

[A Nony Mouse]

Hey, that's ridiculous. Who has a life?

Test: "F-o-r-u-m Contains No New Posts" = Forum Contains No New Posts

Edit: So that's the result of a word filter as well... interesting.

Edit 2: Someone find what changes to "total spambots" in the word filter.
Users Online? Online Users? Active Members?

[Ezekiel Stronghammer]

*grumble* Was planning on starting a thread today..... Still, pretty dang funny.

[Logan]

Haha! On the main index page the one post in the middle section...

We understand that play-by-post writing can be bad newsy at times...

bad newsy? that's HILARIOUS!

Edit: Has this always been there???:

Powered by vBulletin® Sexified by Serilliant

[Breaker]

Well, it's after noon by my time, so I'm hoping we'll revert back to realThanas soon. Got some roleplaying and stuff to get done.

[A Nony Mouse]

yeah today is one of my free days... i was hoping to catch up on some quests!

[Raelyse]

And I was going to work on my solo. Even though I have it all mapped out in my head and just need to get it typed out.

Any excuse really..

[Devonus]

Spoted a difference, in the quickreply the option asks if you are an attractive red head!

LOl and no I'm not Serilliant.

[Saxon]

I hope this doesn't become a regular thing every time of year.

But it is funny. =P

[A Nony Mouse]

Is he adding some of these throughout the day?

LMFAO: "Your approximate genitalia length: 9.54"

[Empyrean]

"Welcome, Empyrean.
Re Mi Do Do So Tuesday :-(, 2008 at 02:06 PM"

I am greatly amused by all this. :)

I also like the "I see dead forums" thing above the forum navigation bar.

EDIT: Ahaha, and this. I keep finding goodies:

You may post new threads
You may post replies
You may molest a badger
You may edit your posts

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

vB code is On
Smilies are On
[IMG] code is On
You are turning me Off

Also, nice touch with "Need more cowbell?" at the verryyy bottom of the page.

[Logan]

Actually I think it's a vBulletin hack that someone else did up for previous Aprl Fls Dys that Serilliant hacked up himself to make it more applicable to Althanas. I think is the key!

EDIT: And I think the script probably has random things that it changes at random times...or...Serilliant has the ability to enable and disable various tweaks at his discretion -- which obviously is very VERY often.

[A Nony Mouse]

yeah, there's ton of new ones now.

Wel-come back = Welcome back

[Karuka]

c-a-l-e-n-d-a-r = colander.

And under the "whose butt to kiss" link, there's a little section that says "Prnakster: Serilliant." (misspelling intentional)

[A Nony Mouse]

Hahaha..."You're an annoying troll"

Edit: Wow, this is getting insane.

fava beans and a nice chianti
My Milkshake brings all the boys to the yard
Man's relationship to staircase: descending

As you wish
Inconceivable!
You killed my father, prepare to die

[Dissinger]

Heres another one, instead of total people today, it's...

Total members that have been l33t h4x0rz by 4pr1l f00lz pr4nkz: 117

[Karuka]

And below that "Do not taunt the happy fun ball."

OOoh. "Thread/Rock Lobster."

"Say Hello to my Little Friend."

[Hashi]

The Internet is serious business, Hashi, there have been 16 posts and 0 threads since we last stole your free time at 02:47 PM, Tuesday :-(, 2008

lol

[Kially Gaith]

There is still no mention of giant enemy crabs or mudkips.

Edit: I retract that statement

[The Wizard of Odd]

What does it all mean, Toto? Perhaps the secret is the key to getting home!

[A Nony Mouse]

No mudkips though.

Edit: nm, found them.

[Empyrean]

Interestingly enough, the use of mudkips was on deviantART today as a massive April Fool's joke. They made everyone's avatars a picture of a mudkip with the words, "So i herd u liek mudkips."

[Kially Gaith]

Interestingly enough, the use of mudkips was on deviantART today as a massive Tuesday morning terrible situation. They made everyone's avatars a picture of a mudkip with the words, "So i herd u liek mudkips."

Yeah, my friend burst into my class room in college demanding why/if I'd hacked his DeviantArt. It was made of epic and fail.

I had a good laugh though.

[Hashi]

No April Fools in gamerworld is completely without the obligatory "Who set us up the bomb?"

[Logan]

There's some trick here that I'm not getting atm. But mark my words...once I do!!!!!! ooooh once I do!

[Ther]

Why am I seeing the numbers from Lost all over? They're at the top, underneath everyone's profile, near the edit button, under the quick reply thing.

[Mir]

The search dropdown reads "Discover Bitter Heartache"

[Kumari]

I'm digging the Wizard of Oz reference accounts with no clickable profile link, like everyone else's usernames have. I wish to please it...but I has no ruby slippers. =(

[Logan]

Yeah. I noticed both of those. One from the Wizard of Odd and one from the Good Witch. Both WoOz Quotes. Both referencing home and the secret to getting there...it annoys me, boy it annoys me!

Who's get the red slippers and why the HECK haven't you clicked them together yet?!

[A Nony Mouse]

yeah i kinda wonder if we need to do something... the mystery of it all confuses me.

[Kumari]

When I first saw the forum this morning, I about had a heart attack, and it made my day very bad, but now that I know it was just a prank, and a genius one at that, it made my first day of a greasy, smelly, degrading job better! *snuggles with Serilliant*
